Nothing beats the convenience of a dedicated antenna tuner. Matched to your specific rig, you just press the Tune button on the radio, and the rig and tuner do the rest: reduces power, transmits a carrier, automatically matches the antenna to the rig, then restores power and mode. LDG makes several dedicated tuners using its unique and highly efficient tuning algorithms that will match virtually any coax fed antenna in seconds.
Kenwood makes some great radios; here at LDG we love our Kenwoods, but when they stopped producing the AT-300 tuner, they left us high and dry with no dedicated tuner for the entire Kenwood line. So if you have a TS-2000, TS-50 or TS-480 or any Kenwood rig that is AT-300 compatible, you’re just out of luck. Of course, most any LDG tuner will work just fine with a Kenwood rig, but wouldn’t it be great if you could use that Tune button on the radio, which Kenwood orphaned when they deep-sixed the AT-300?
